Inaccuracies

  • The trailer for Season 3 says that the convicts are on the run for one year, simplified for viewers who haven't seen the show in a year's time (TV land time). In fact Season 2 in its entirety takes place within only a month.
  • Caroline Reynolds is a presidential candidate in Season 1, however the United States presidential election was, in the real world, scheduled to take place in November 2004, 6 months before she was sworn into office after her predecessor's assassination by the Company in "Flight ." In the same episode, Reynolds is mentioned as being the 46th President of the United States; from this can be surmised that, in the Prison Break universe, some Presidents did not serve a second term as they did in reality, where the 43rd President was serving a second term in 2005. In "Sweet Caroline," Reynolds runs again, in June 2005.
  • Originally, in Prison Break: The Final Break, Michael Scofield fakes his death in 2005. Season 5 alters the timeline so that Michael instead fakes his death in 2010.
